“My intention being to acquire the habitude of all these Virtues, I judg’d it would be well not to distract my Attention by attempting the whole at once, but to fix it on one of them at a time; and when I should be Master of that, then to proceed to another, and so on, till I should have gone thro’ the thirteen… I determined to give a Week’s strict Attention to each of the Virtues successively. Proceeding thus to the last, I could go thro’ a Course complete in Thirteen Weeks, and four Courses in a Year…” (Benjamin Franklin)
